etrailer has been great in the past and I will order from them again. This experience was mediocre because they advertised free 3 day shipping through a google search for this product. After paying I was notified that it would take longer. I needed the gate mate for a weekend trip and could have gotten it through [online vendor] for the same price, quicker. Not a big deal, just be aware.



by:

Always impressed with etrailer. They have an abundance of knowledge and are extremely responsive. Highly recommend!

Great bike rack! We haul 4 bikes with it and it still leaves plenty of room in the bed of the truck for camp gear

@Brian Awesome, we're so glad you like the # TH824PRO Thule GateMate Pro! What kind of adventures do you use it for?


by:

Great material, inside smooth will not scratch the tailgate. Easy install. I ordered for full size, truck however if I had to do it again I would choose smaller width. I have rails mounted to the inside of bed for a bed cover. The gate mate really fits snug, having to slam the gate to lock. Depending style of bike the down tube may not snug tight. Yes I would buy again. Good price.

2016 Toyota Tundra

Totally impressed. This thing not only protects my bike but also my truck. Set up was easy, the padding is plentiful, the mesh storage pockets are a huge plus. Really impressed with the quality. Even was able to work around my roll up Lund tonneau with no mods needed.



by:

Solved our problem of how to bring our 6 bikes along with us on long trips. Super easy to load and unload. Very happy with this purchase.

Still using and working great. My only issue is installation is a bit tricky, which does sometimes mean I dont bother to use if were not certain to need the bikes. Ultimately though its worth the effort and solved our problem.



by:

Arrived quicker than expected and with good
updates.
Packaging was excellent. Fitted
in 5 minutes, loaded the bikes
on back of truck and hit the road… very pleased.



by:

This tailgate mat works great, i have no issue with bikes moving while driving. I use it for several different frame sizes from med frame road bikes to large frame fat tires and an XL 29er. It holds them all without a problem. The soft material has caused no scratching to my tailgate and those who say it will dont wash their truck. Service and delivery from etrailer was quick and competitively priced as usual. I have recommended and would buy again.



by:
2016 Ford F-150

Overall this is a great option for a quickly installed and secure way to haul bicycles in a pick-up truck. One thing I did not consider was the fact I had a tonneau cover on my 2016 Ford F-150 from Gator. The rails for the cover overlap into the bed of the truck an inch and a half, but the Thule tailgate pad is flexible enough to work under the rails to get the tailgate closed. Installation takes 10 minutes alone and 5 with help. Great product and great support from eTrailer.com!



by:
2016 Chevrolet Silverado 3500

Excellent experience and fast shipping. Great quality product. Very pleased



by:

Bit of a pain to lift bikes onto the tailgate but for someone who regularly transports 4-6 bikes from hone to the campsite, this thing is perfect. It claims you can do 8 bikes but it would be very difficult to get bike 7 and 8 into the truck.

If you need to live 6 bikes about this is the best solution I have found.



by:
2019 Pontiac Trans Sport Van

Awesome bike transport. I did not want a truck hitch type so this was a great easy option. Took less than 5 minutes to install and the bikes were certainly secure during transport.



by:

The package was delivered on time and fit my Ram 3500 perfectly. The team at etrailer kept you informed every step of the process from order confirmation to shipping confirmation and delivery confirmation. You can't ask for better communication than that.



by:

As always, EXCELLENT FAST shipping from etrailer. put this on 2011 silverado, for an aventon ebike and a regular bike, works great, no issues.



by:

Love it, bikes aren't in a pile in the back of the truck.



by:

My husband was looking for something easier to haul the bikes around. Much easier to put on and off to take the truck thru the car wash. This way the truck is protected from getting scratched by the bikes. Thanks

Great customer service!

Great product, great service. Thanks!!

  • Can Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Bike Rack Be used with 75 lb E-Bikes with Fat Tires
    The Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad for Full-Size Trucks # TH824PRO that you referenced does not have a weight capacity or a tire width limit so it would easily work great with a 75 lb e-bike with 4-inch wide fat tires.

  • Truck Bed Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2012 Ford F-150 with Tonneau Cover
    Most truck tonneau covers have rails that will interfere with an item like the Swagman truck bed bike rack # S64702. The L-shaped brackets on either end need to set directly against the bed rails. If anything is in the way you will not be able to use this particular bike rack. But not to worry, there are other options. Another option is the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack, # TH824PRO . Bascially it is a mat that goes over the tailgate to protect it and you can attach bikes...

  • Does Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Bike Rack Fit 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 Multipro Tailgate
    Yes, the Thule GateMate Pro # TH824PRO is a fit for your 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 with a multipro tailgate.

  • Will Using the Thule GateMate Pro Truck Bed Bike Carrier Block a Backup Camera
    If the backup camera is housed in the tailgate handle then you would have to hold open the flap on the Thule GateMate Pro # TH824PROso it isn't blocking the camera's view. You could tuck it under a strap above it temporarily as needed. We have a lot of truck bed bike rack options, see link. If you can tell me the year, make, and model of the truck and how many bikes you want to carry I can make some specific recommendations.

  • Could the Thule Gate Mate Pro Be Used to Carry Kayaks or a Paddle Board
    I suppose you could use the Thule # TH824PRO in this manner; however it's not going to secure the boards or kayak in any manner and it's really just an expensive pad at that point. If you do want to use this in this manner you may want to consider adding some cam buckle straps like the Malone Cam Buckle Load Straps with Buckle Protectors - 12' Long - Red - Qty 2 # MPG307-12 to keep the board or kayak secured in the truck bed. The best solution would be to use a ladder rack. To protect...

  • Can Thule GateMate Fit 2021 Ram 1500 with Access Vanish Tonneau
    There would be enough clearance for the Thule GateMate part # TH824PRO to fit on your 2021 Ram 1500 with the Access Vanish tonneau you have to not interfere with the rail kit.

  • Will the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad Work With a Truck Bed Cover
    The Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad part # TH824PRO is an excellent option for a 2002 Toyota Tundra. In regards to compatibility with a truck bed cover, you'd need to have the cover folded up or rolled back when using the tailgate pad. The cover would not be able to folded/rolled shut with the tailgate pad in place. That said, you could easily store the tailgate pad in the truck bed while not in use.

  • Solution for Clearing Trailer Jack When Using Thule GateMate Pro on 2021 Ford F-150
    What you said at the end is exactly what I would do with the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad for Full-Size Trucks # TH824PRO. You don't have to load the bikes in a certain position so putting them on the outside would likely solve the problem. Unfortunately, due to the variations in bikes there is no way to have an idea on the clearance without actually trying it. I recommend loading the bikes and taking some slow turns in a parking lot to test for clearance. You want to be sure it works...

  • Can the 2017 Ram 1500 Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad be Used for an E-Bike
    The Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad # TH824PRO is a universal product and can essentially be used with any style of bike. The main purposes of this pad is to protect your tailgate and bikes from scratches while also adding some straps to keep your bike(s) from bouncing around in your truck bed. It doesn't have a weight capacity since the truck bed will be supporting the weight of your bike(s). With that being said, e-bikes tend to be more of a premium bike so if you'd like something a...

  • Recommend Hitch Adapter For Hitch Mounted Kayak Carrier And Hitch Mounted Bike Rack
    We do have an option for you. The option I recommend is adding a front mount trailer hitch receiver to the front of your vehicle to carry your bike rack, or use the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack # TH823PRO if you have a compact truck or the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack # TH824PRO. The reason for this is that the only way to use a hitch mounted kayak carrier and a hitch mounted bike rack at the same time you will need to use a dual hitch adapter which will...

  • Recommended Bike Rack for Pickup Trucks Without Needing to Use Trailer Hitch
    We have quite a few options available for transporting bikes with a truck like your 2014 Ram 1500 that do not require the use of a trailer hitch. A similar alternative to a traditional trunk-mounted bike rack like what you see on vehicles is the Thule Gate Mate # H824PRO. This is a heavy-duty, padded vinyl cover that provides an easy way to carry up to 8 bikes over the tailgate of your Ram. The cover fits over the closed tailgate and your bikes will secure over the pad with the front wheels...

  • Will Thule Gate Mate Work with Townie Cruiser Bike

  • Can Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad be Used with the Tailgate Down on a 2012 Ford F-150
    The Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad # TH824PRO will be strapped to the tailgate whether it is up or down so you could have the tailgate down with cargo in the bed while driving and it would be fine.

  • Recommended Tailgate Bike Pad for 2019 Ram 1500
    The Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad for Full-Size Trucks part # TH824PRO is what I recommend for a 2019 Ram 1500. It can hold up to 8 bikes, it has a cutout for the handle and or backup camera, and the protective pads underneath will ensure there are no scratches to the paint. In regards to the tonneau cover, there should be no issues with it rolled up/retracted.

  • Will the Thule Insta-Gater Work On a Bike with Fenders
    I do have a few other options for you but the Thule Insta-Gater Truck Bed Single Bike Rack part # TH93VR will not work with bikes that have fenders. Instead, you can use the Inno Velo Gripper Bike Rack for Truck Beds part # INRT201 depending on the weight of your bike but these are the only truck bed mounted options that will work for your bike without removing the wheel. Please note, if you have RamBoxes then your best and really only option for the truck bed would be the Thule GateMate...

  • Will Inno Truck Bed Bike Carrier Fit 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with Roll-Up Tonneau Cover
    The Inno Velo Gripper part # INRT201 installs where the tonneau cover rails are installed so it will not fit with the rails. You could still carry bikes in the bed of your Silverado using the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad for Full-Size Trucks - Up to 8 Bikes - 60" Wide Item # TH824PRO.

  • Will the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad Work On a 2019 Ram 1500
    I have a few options for you to carry bikes in the bed of your 2019 Ram 1500 (All Models). The best option for you would be dependent on how many bikes you need to haul. If you need to haul multiple bikes then the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad part # TH824PRO is your best option. There won't be any issue using the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad on a 2019 Ram 1500 with curved tailgate. There is also a cutout for models with the tailgate backup camera and padding to protect both your bikes...

  • Truck Bed Bike Racks Compatible with Rambox Feature on 2018 Ram 2500
    We do have truck-bed bike racks that are confirmed to work in your 2018 Ram 2500 with the Rambox feature. These are shown on the linked page. The bar-style racks like the Topline # UG2500-4 cannot be used on your truck but the linked article addresses the various types of truck bed bike racks we offer and this may be helpful to you. Most of the options for your Ram 2500 are the fork-block type like # HRT970 and # RKY1096 but we also have tailgate pad carriers such as the Softride Shuttle...

  • Thule Truck Bed Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack That Fits 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
    We do have a Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack that fits a 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500, though it is a different one than you mentioned. The correct fit for a 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 is the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack # TH824PRO. I have added some photos showing this on a '19 Silverado 1500 as well as a link to a video review showing it in use on this same truck.

  • Recommended Truck Bed Bike Rack for 2019 Ram 1500 with RamBox
    I do have some great options for you, however the Inno Velo Gripper Bike Rack # INRT201 that you referenced will not work on your 2019 Ram 1500 that's equipped with the RamBox storage system. It simply won't have the mounting area required for this to clamp around. Since you have the RamBoxes you will need to go with a carrier that actually bolts to the bed floor or attaches to the channel rails (instead of utilize the side rails) or use a tailgate pad like the Thule GateMate # TH824PRO....

  • How Far Out Does the Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender # MPG907 Extend
    On the Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender # MPG907 the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the furthest edge on the carrier is 53 inches. So to the nearest part of the up right it will be approximately 51 inches. By my calculations your 10 foot, 5 inch kayaks will overhang the bed by 41 inches. That means if you were to slide the kayaks all the way in the upright on this carrier would still be about 10 inches away. All of the similar extenders are a bit too long...

  • Which Thule GateMate Fits 2019 Ford Ranger
    The size of GateMate Pro that Thule recommends for your 2019 Ford Ranger is the part # TH823PRO which is 7 inches shorter than the # TH824PRO that tis 60 inches long and for full size trucks. We don't have a great way to fit the longer version as it would over hang quite a bit.

  • Bike Rack Recommendation For 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 Towing R-Pod 190 Travel Trailer
    I have a solution for you, but the Jack-It 2 Bike Rack for A-Frame Trailers # LC429756 is intended to be used with trailer jacks that have a front mounted crank on the jack, so your top crank trailer jack would not be able to function with this bike rack attached. Granted, the instances where your trailer jack battery would die are limited, I'd still like to provide an alternative solution if you wanted to go that route. Instead of the Jack-It, and because using a dual hitch receiver reduces...
